Power up the tube with low current say 4mA~5mA. Observe if any 'sparking' noise or arcing happened from the power supply or from the tube. If no gas leaking, then you shouldn't hear sparking sound. Before the tube entered stable mode, a little electric sound like 'zee zee' may be heard but it is OK ...

I'm testing the Hybrid system. So far so good on stainless steel at 1mm, 1.5mm. Although there was some slag, it did cut through and can be cleaned pretty easy. I was able to cut through up to 2mm mild steel with a 130W tube. There was more slag than stainless steel. Plus, it is harder to cut sharp ...

By the way, it sounds odd but the motor gear, the Y coupling, or the Y axis gear could be escaping (lost traction) If the focus lens loose, it shake while the X swinging and problems like yours could happen . Just a quick thought coming from my brain while I was reading your post.

It seems that some parts are getting loose. Check mirrors and lens make sure that those items are not vibrating. Since the speed you were using was pretty slow so I think you may have some parts got “really “ loosen. I don’t think it has anything to do with the DSP card

Check the grounding of your laser machine. Make sure that the ac outlet got good grounding I mean a real ground. Also, make sure laser tube connections are properly connected and firmed. It is very easy to have bad or loosen ground wire on the negative terminal from the tube. The casing of the laser...

A while ago (possible in 1.5 years ago) I have made a post and asked if anyone was interested to get the mount plate because I was planning to make some and selling it for $10. Since no reply so I didn't make it any more. Now, I will make some with metal because we have fiber laser here that can han...

Marco, Thank you for the outstanding directions for modding my Chinese 40W laser. Everything worked on the first power up but I have noticed some bugs that after a few days I think it is time to ask for some advice. 1. The 3 Digit Mini Blue LED DC 100mA Meter is installed and shows a value, but I a...

Your acceleration setup for X seems to high. Set it to :5000 Also, the UM seems not right. I don’t know what kind of machine you’re running but if it is a K40, the “um” with 1/16 micro stepping should use 12.6 roughly or 6.5 if 1/32 is used。 If it is K40, the traveling range you set is it right as w...

After 'Home', use keypad to move the laser head away from the present location to somewhere else, then press 'Origin' Now, recycle the power see how it goes. I should be simple issue and should be easy to address. Always read the 'FAQ' for info when homing or scale issue occurred: http://www.lightob...

Yes cut off connection to the water sensor terminal “WP” is a good choice. If you want to be more safe, you can use a double ‘throw?’( forgot the term)switch to cut off both WP and TTL from the LPSU and it will disable it from firing absolutely

Yes it is a big problem when 24v PSU could ootput 17v. That means the 24v power supply didn’t supply enough current for the motors and it may caused an issue. Better to install a qualified power supply before doing other troubleshooting
